One Pan Salmon, Kale, and Cabbage Meal

February is American Heart Month!

We celebrate American Heart Month to urge Americans to join the battle against heart disease. Heart disease kills an estimated 630,000 Americans each year. It’s the leading cause of death for both men and women. In the United States, the most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to a heart attack. You can greatly reduce your risk for CAD through lifestyle changes, particularly through nutrition changes!

Which is why we bring you this tasty heart health meal today!

This recipe for One Pan Salmon, Kale, and Cabbage is a great addition to your weekly dinner rotation!

Kale is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet!
A single cup of raw kale contains: Vitamin A, K, C, B6, Manganese, Calcium, Copper, Potassium, Magnesium, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron, and phosphorus! Kale also contains bile acid sequestrants, which can lower cholesterol levels. This might lead to a reduced risk of heart disease over time!

Now, here’s the scoop on the salmon. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are known to reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation in the body can damage your blood vessels and lead to heart disease and strokes.
Omega-3 fatty acids may benefit heart health by decreasing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure, reducing blood clotting, decreasing your risk of strokes and heart failure risk, and reducing irregular heartbeats.

Eating at least two servings a week of fish, particularly fish that’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, can reduce the risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death.

Now, onto the tasty part…
